Coming from a high schooler, this is weird, but Korzeniowski may be right, Think of this, How did we have only what was it, 16 deaths in the gulf war? We know the government is hiding shiat about the U.S., how do we know that like a thousand people were killed in the gulf war and the government says 16 to boost american morale? What he says does make sense. I doubt we have the procedures and stuff to have only 1 man killed in a major jail break.

If a thousand people died in the gulf war why would there have been an outcry from the families wondering where there loved ones are. Think about it, Condit had one intern go missing and it was on every station for weeks.

Viper, you can believe that there were very few people killed in the Gulf War, at least under 1000, because dead soldiers has families, and those families are often specifically interviewed by the News media. If they say 16 died and 1,000 families across the US didn't get their kid/husband/uncle back, don't you think someone might mention it to the news? Or does the governement kill everyone on that list, too?

Rei:Until I see you produce some actual, empirical research that shows attitudes toward the West have shifted from the war, (empirical, not antectdotal)-- then you have no place describing the mindset of an entire group of people (especially when you don't live there, speak their language, etc.)

Yet again you employ marxist historical methods to paint a specific set of actions to fit into your political world view. Wake up--

That is exactly my point Froid, you farks don't listen to anyone. That is why everyone hates you as a country. Imagine all the education systems...rampant information...yet you are the most blind country. How sad. How about you jump off the wagon, throw down your little "I am an ass kissing follower" flag, and research to what led up sept 11 you farkhead! Or do you really think that educated people with a life ahead of them fly planes into buildings for no reason.

Actually, you're american and i know you don't care enough actually to do anything but flap your gums with used bullshiat american propaganda. Why don't you just get back to watching Geraldo, loser

There were very, very few Americans even present at the Mazar-e-Sharif riot you talk about. I remember reading a report that stated that were perhaps eight. It was a Northern Alliance prison. You better believe there was more than one man killed in the jail break. There was the NA soldier who was blown up by the handgrenade that started it. And there was our American. There's two. Plus, you know, there were three days of tough fighting. Of course there wasn't one man killed, you idiot.

As for the Gulf War, the kill ratio was something like 100 Iraqis for every American. This is because American tanks and airpower ruled the desert. The Iraqis had nothing but old T-55s as far as armor went. I have no idea if 16 deaths was accurate, but the government wouldn't be lying about it, you paranoid sack. The Iraqis were absolutely slaughtered. Proof of this is everywhere. Instances like the highway of death are examples of this.

Furthermore, suggesting that the US has lied about the number of deaths in Iraq is just ridiculously stupid, because I guarantee this would have been found out. Come now. People go over seas to fight. People who lose their sons in war often get into local newspaper. The US has enough freakishly paranoid lefties and righties and just plain curious people that I'm sure there have been many people checking US statistics because they are so goddamned paranoid. Example being the Gulf War syndrome from chemical weapons. This was uncovered, despite the government's unwillingness to accept that the Gulf War was responsible. If you think something as simple as casualty figures wouldn't have been uncovered, you're just a fat fool. I'm sure you'd like to think your idea is creative and clever. "Hey, WHAT IF THE US GOVERNMENT LIED TO US ABOUT HOW MANY PEOPLE DIED TO INCREASE OUR MORALE!?!?! THEY SURE ARE EVIL!" You're not. At all.

It is pretty sad to see country of people whom hate there president, government, and trust niether...but are all for this war.

Regular american 1: "nuke dem towelheads!!"Regular american 2: "why?"Regular american 1: "because the president and a bunch of celebrities said so"Regular american 2: "yeah, nuke dem basterd towelheads!!Regular american 2: "what's a towelhead?"Regular american 1: "...ah...duh...I don't know, and i don't care...kill em all!!!"

and please tell us the big difference between Americans and Canadian's. yea, Canada is FULL of educated worldy citizens. Give me a break. Fark Canada. A country founded on losers. What the hell has Canada done for ANYONE ever.....Even your hockey teams suck ass now.

I could use the same argument against you. Why don't you jump off the liberal self-righteous high horse bandwagon, take off your "HEY I'M COOL BECAUSE I HATE THE US PIGS" t-shirt, and slap yourself in the face?

If you hate America, no, I don't care what the goddamned hell you think. If you hate America and have the power to do something about that emotion, yes, I would be interested in making you bleed, for my own sake. And if you did use that power to do something against America because you hate it, you better believe I'm going to come down on your ass with a big hammer labeled 'justice'.

You stupid twat, do you think nearly every American doesn't have some concept of the possible reasons that led up the attack on the World Trade Center on Sept. 11th? Do you think anybody believes we were just attacked out of the blue for absolutely no reason? No. Nobody believes that, you fat, filthy, ignorant fool.

Everyone has their own opinion on the reasons. But everybody acknowledges there are reasons.

I think the reasons are not good ones. So do most Americans. Therefore we believe we are in the right.

Now, like I said, piss off and go read an American newspaper. You may be surprised, but it has a lot of news it.

I loved america my whole life. I would go all over with my hockey team having fun kicking the shiat out of everyone, but we had fun and there waz no angst. I loved america so much that i moved here, and quickly grew up. I never hated america from afar, and i am on no waggon. Everything i have learned in these years in america is in university, not from american media, and that is where your problem obviously lays. Now, go back to watching entertainment tonight and keep learning why you hates all those other countries, whatever there names are. Moron

Look, everyone is oversimplifying this war to fit everyone's perspective. First of all, let's end this whole towelhead business, I dont know what it accomplishes. Just because we are warring with a country doesnt mean we can debase them and ourselves by bringing that kind of crudeness out. In Iraq, and Afghanistan and although I would be inclined to dislike them people like the Serbs are screwed by crazy leaders.

I cannot completely condemn the Taliban, for although they took Afghanistan centuries back and humilated women (nothing is more un-Islamic) they drove out the Russians and virtually eliminated opium cultivation in the past couple years. And because Im proud to be an American and care about the course this country takes, I cannot sit back and not be annoyed by this uberpatriotism sweep and people who oversimplify like Apex for instance.

I love the cracks about canadian hockey. Take a look at any american team, are there any americans? I think not. Red wings won two cups, millions of waggon riders jump on screeming "hockey town" waving flags (well of course, that's all americans can do) but, there is only one american on the team, go figure.

Hey Cyberhoser: Kiss my A$$! By the way, why don't you guys go fix your border problem. Half of the illegal terrorist immigrants in the U.S. come from Canada.

Don't worry though, after we get done in the Middle East, we're finally gonna annex your sorry a$$es like we should have a long time ago. And no more French language in Quebec. It's called ASSIMILATION.

And one more thing... Maybe you should ask your University for a refund. Spelling and grammer a little hairy...

i'm a college student, as well, and i'm more of a liberterian than anything else, but i see the validity of what david horowitz has to say about our institutions of "higher education". aside from being run by arrogant leftist farkwits like yourself, they teach you that unless you buy into their mentality, and become an arrogant leftist farkwit, you're an idiot. you really don't have to become a chomsky-worshipping idiot. accept this; a lot of curriculum is just leftist propaganda. don't believe me? look at the mandatory classes you need to take to get your BA. so many ridiculous classes such as "ethnic studies", where they teach you how bad "mainstream society" is, (which if you replace the word "whitey" in the book, quickly turns into a farrakhan-esque rant).

A few words that more enlightened souls than I composed sum up my feelings...

"Life is no life to him that dares not die,And death no death to him that dares not live."-- Sir Henry Newbolt.

Sweet wine of youth; gave up the years to beOf work and joy, and that unhoped sereneThat men call age; and those who would have been,Their sons, they gave, their immortality.Rupert Brooke

And finally,

In lonely watches night by nightGreat visions burst upon my sight,For down the stretches of the skyThe hosts of dead go marching by.Strange ghostly banners o'er them float,Strange bugles sound an awful note,And all their faces and their eyesAre lit with starlight from the skies.The anguish and the pain have passedAnd peace hath come to them at last,But in the stern looks linger stillThe iron purpose and the will.Dear Christ, who reign'st above the floodOf human tears and human blood,A weary road these men have trod,O house them in the home of God!
